everyone looked convinced tho

when i saw their reaction when they asked for the review i assumed it was another howler from the umpire

The lead is 400 now...what's the plan for FAF? Declare soon, or bat until lunch tomorrow, and have five sessions to bowl at England?

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Sun Jul 16, 2017 4:46 pm

550 lead at lunch tomorrow.

They'll get bowled out first though.

only 198 runs scored in the day...lead is 403 taking a long time

Six down. Slowly chipping away.

grasping at straws for something to be positive about here but Stokes has bowled better than he has for a long time today

in tests anyway

Dawson as the same number of wickets in the series as Broad at a much better average.

Nowhere near as many runs though.

Bairstow not looking very happy after getting hit on the forearm trying to get to that edge

300 is up 301-6

by **rich1uk** » Sun Jul 16, 2017 5:39 pm

doesn't look like any plans to declare tonight, if they were going to declare these two would probably be having a bit of a biff

by **Aidan11** » Sun Jul 16, 2017 5:40 pm

They could technically declare but with more than two days left they can just bore us into submission.

just as i type that they start slogging and Morris gets out

Second Test: England v South Africa, Nottingham, July 14-18
